Compaq Computer Corp. Monday is expected to introduce its line of servers powered by Intel Corp.'s Pentium Pro processors, high-end machines that are expected to compete with Unix-based midrange computers.

The announcement follows similar introductions of servers from the Houston computer maker's chief rivals, Hewlett-Packard Co. and International Business Machines Corp. Servers are powerful machines that link networks of computers.
